TOPIC FOLK CLUB Newsletter No 52, April/May 2006 Greetings: and welcome to the late April-early May Newsletter. April 27 Steve Ashley. May 11 Singers and Musicians. May 18 Bernard Carney. May 25 Pete Abbott. June 1 Pete Smith and John Buckley. AND ONWARDS: JUNE also features a singaround on the general theme of Freedom; CrossCurrent, a brilliant five-piece band of recent graduates from Newcastle’s Folk Music degree (with FS from Northern Man Clive Leyland); Scottish singer-songwriter Robin Laing who I don’t think has visited the Topic before, and our very own Bluesman extraordinaire Roger Sutcliffe. JULY is a month when some of our fellow local clubs batten down for the summer: but a packed Topic programme includes: Battlefield Band stalwart Alistair Russell, back on the gigging circuit; The Amazing Mr Smith for musicianship combined with zany humour (with FS from Ed McGurk), a double header of up-and-coming young acts Entropy and Robin and Ben, and finally that most energetic of performers; and one of the best politico-social contemporary songwriters in the business, Robb Johnson. You can read all about the upcoming programme in Tykes, on the internet www.topic-folk-club.org.uk ,or in future issues of this newsletter. Preparations are underway for the 50th Anniversary Season, a star-studded and exciting programme of real talent that we hope will regularly challenge the capacity of our new venue. In recognition of this, for gigs from September onwards, tickets for all concerts will be available in advance on clubnights from dates to be advertised on the website and in the Newsletter. Members will have a few weeks’ priority. The prices for some concerts will have to be increased to cover the artistes fees (prices will be published in advance): but in saying that, the overwhelming majority of our artistes have been extremely generous in agreeing to minimum guarantees well below their normal fee. 50th anniversary T-shirts are being designed even as I write, and will be available in time for the Festival season. As always, please let me know by return if you no longer wish to receive this Newsletter, and your name will be permanently deleted from my files. See you all some Thursday at the C ock and Bottle at one of the above events. 8.30 start. Be there by then if you want to perform a floor spot, which are still available every night even where there is a Featured Support artist booked. No smoking in the club room. John Waller |
